Mini World Game Console-Chapter 620 - 621: I Like You So Much, Can’t You Like Me Back?【Second Update】

Faced with Gu Yueyan's intense stare, Ren Suo also felt somewhat awkward and said with an apologetic smile, "I was just joking..."

Biting her lower lip, Gu Yueyan looked down at her hands intertwined tightly with his, not knowing what to say.

Ren Suo simply couldn't come up with an answer right now. Even if Gu Yueyan pressed him further, he might blurt out a joke even more infuriating than "my lover is a game."

At this moment, the distortion of The Dark Side of the Moon had become very severe. Aside from the two of them, the Silver Moon above, and the distant orb, everything else was a blur. It was almost as if the third dimension was awkwardly stepping into the domain of Anime Fans.

Feeling fully entitled, Gu Yueyan leaned against him and said, "Luna's about to win, right?"

"Almost there, almost there."

But it wasn't that close. Battling the Monster Moon God would probably take a while.

While leaning against Ren Suo, Gu Yueyan started scratching the palm of his hand. This made certain areas in his heart begin to itch, and certain parts of his body also began to stir, forcing him to focus his mind and think about what to do when he got back.

Actually, there was one thing Ren Suo hadn't mentioned to Gu Yueyan. If Gu Yueyan were the only one who liked him, he would most likely have accepted her directly. Issues like age or status didn't matter to him at all. As for whether he truly liked her, he didn't care as much as he let on.

From an early age, Ren Suo had realized his indifference to relationships. Consequently, he had braced himself for the possibility of never finding a soulmate. But being easygoing by nature, he felt that life would go on with anyone. As long as the other person liked him and he found them acceptable, he probably wouldn't object.

Undoubtedly, Gu Yueyan far surpassed his minimum standards: she was young, beautiful, had a great figure (yes, he was that shallow), and like him, she was a Cultivator. Although her personality was the complete opposite of his, after so many months together, Ren Suo was confident he was willing—and able—to live with her. Whether it was love didn't concern him.

Love at first sight was nothing but lust; affection developed over time was merely weighing pros and cons. Ren Suo was just this sort of common man.

However, it wasn't only Gu Yueyan who liked him now.

There were two others waiting for him to wake up outside!

What could Ren Suo do?

Choose one out of three? How should he choose?

Post online for the sand sculpture netizens to vote?

But Ren Suo felt that if he dared to do that, he would probably be doxxed. Then his story would spread through various social media accounts, making him the new enemy of the people.

Or perhaps... want them all?

Besides, even if Ren Suo dared to make such a suggestion—setting aside whether he even wanted to—only Gu Yueyan couldn't overpower him. Dong Chengling and Qiao Muyi, however, could tear him limb from limb!

Ren Suo was also in turmoil. It was, after all, the first time in his life he'd encountered such a situation, and he had no real-life examples to refer to. The only remotely similar case was Zhao Huo, but Ren Suo had always believed Zhao Huo would be dismembered sooner or later.

He must not follow in Zhao Huo's footsteps!

First and foremost, he couldn't state his stance rashly. Once he did, there would be no turning back! He definitely couldn't be a scumbag!

Ren Suo silently made up his mind.

Just then, a ray of Moonlight pierced through the Silver White Orb in the distance, but the orb also started to emit a creepy, worm-like Blood Light!

The nearby NPCs, which were almost turned into mosaics, suddenly became clear. Their eyes all glowed with Blood Light as they fixed their gaze on Ren Suo and Gu Yueyan, then charged towards them!

The Monster Moon God was fighting on two fronts at once, battling Luna while trying to influence The Dark Side of the Moon to assassinate other Angel Envoys!

Ren Suo turned pale, cursing inwardly—were there such changes on The Dark Side of the Moon while Luna was fighting the boss?

Ren Suo felt aggrieved. If he had known it would come to this, he would have taken Gu Yueyan and hidden in a tall building instead of seeking death in a crowd!

Fortunately, these NPCs didn't inflict much Damage, so he and Gu Yueyan could easily handle them. The Moonlight Gu Yueyan slashed out could reap a swath, and Ren Suo could blast a path with a casual fire, but there were just too many of them.

This wasn't a solution. While leading Gu Yueyan to hide in a tall building, Ren Suo activated Miracle Full Moon, hoping to draw a useful Miracle.

However, as soon as Ren Suo opened Miracle Full Moon and before he could even start the draw, the Miracle Wishing Machine automatically activated.

The first row of icons: Luna in a patient gown.

The second row of icons: Luna in a patient gown.

The third row of icons: Luna in a patient gown.

Ren Suo was slightly startled, then plunged into a tunnel of memories.

Ren Suo recalled the memory of the first day. At that time, posing as a doctor, he had hidden Luna's condition from the Samurai. As he sent Luna away, he smiled and promised her, "I will always be your friend, Luna. If you need to hide or rest, just come find me."

Ren Suo vaguely remembered seeing such a memory scene in the game as well.

However, why had the Miracle Wishing Machine automatically activated?

As Ren Suo wondered, he suddenly noticed that the memory began to collapse.

Endless darkness eroded the memory—the walls, the bedding, the windows, the ceiling...

In the end, only he and Luna remained in the memory; everything else was swallowed by the darkness.

In front of Ren Suo, the Luna who was supposed to leave suddenly pouted woefully, tears streaming from her eyes as she let out a sob and clung to him.

Am I not in a memory? How can Luna act on her own?

Could it be that Luna is also using Miracle Full Moon to access this memory?

Or rather, is she accessing this memory, causing my Miracle Full Moon to resonate?

The abilities and props produced by the system did exhibit resonance, a phenomenon Ren Suo had tested before—he had even ended up as a little Kitchen Girl for a while because of it.

Ren Suo wanted to control himself, but his body in the memory was completely stiff; he felt imprisoned within an alloy coffin, unable to respond to Luna's embrace.

Is the difference between the pirated Miracle Full Moon and the genuine Miracle Full Moon that big!?

Luna hugged Ren Suo and cried, "That monster, that monster is really terrifying... It's so powerful... Can I really defeat it...?"

"If it hits me, I'll definitely die, right? The pain will kill me, right? I'm so scared!!"

Luna clung to Ren Suo and burst into heavy sobs, "I don't want to fight anymore, I don't want to fight! I don't want to fight…"

"To defeat it, I have to use that Miracle! I don't want to use the Miracle! I don't want to..."

"After using the Miracle, I will forget you! I've already forgotten some things, but I don't know what I've forgotten! I don't know..."

"I have lost everything already... I don't want this... These are all my things, all mine..."

At this moment, darkness began to erode both Ren Suo and Luna. Luna clung tightly to Ren Suo, murmuring with a choke in her voice, "I know, I've seen it... In the end, I will definitely defeat that monster..."

"And then I will lose all my memories, staying inside the Silver Moon Crystal forever..."

"Forever... How far is forever?"

Luna's thoughts began to blur, but her eyes remained pure and innocent.

She gazed at the motionless Ren Suo, tenderly rubbing her cheek against his, sobbing into his ear, "I don't want this. I don't want to forget you, forget that I've fought you, kneaded you, bullied you, thought about having your children..."

"I don't want to forget... I love you so much, I even want to become your pet... then I could always be with you..."

"Forever... How far is forever?"

The darkness swallowed them both. In the last instant, Ren Suo thought he saw a blue-haired figure charging towards a massive, ugly monster amidst a Sea of Flowers, hearing the cries of "Mine, all mine."

「Back in reality」

Ren Suo nearly fainted, as if his skull had been flayed open and pain assaulted his pituitary gland. He gasped for air, seeming as if he could collapse at any moment.

They had reached the Roof now, and Gu Yueyan quickly helped him onto it. There were no enemies nearby; it was a safe place to rest.

"What happened? What's wrong?" Gu Yueyan's voice held a hint of a sob; seeing the usually cheerful and positive Ren Suo with such a pained and repressed expression was distressing to her.

After several seconds, Ren Suo managed to stand up, his frantic breathing slowly calming.

He was silent for a while, gazing at the distant Silver White Orb, his expression gradually becoming serene.

"It's safe here. Let's wait for the trial to end, and then go back, okay?"

Gu Yueyan seemed to sense something. She took Ren Suo's hand, her voice almost a cry as she pleaded.

Ren Suo took a deep breath, looking directly into Gu Yueyan's eyes.

"Yes, it's safe here," Ren Suo said earnestly. "You stay here. I still have something I need to do."

"Do you have to go?"

"If I don't, I'll never be at peace in this life."

Gu Yueyan bit her lower lip, nearly breaking the skin.

"Can I help you?"

"You can," Ren Suo said. "I need your Silver Moon Crystal, the one for Enhanced Food; you keep the Silver Moon Crystal for hiding yourself."

Gu Yueyan took a Silver Moon Crystal from her chest and handed it to him, asking, "What else?"

"When it's time to leave, you must leave immediately." Ren Suo put his hand on Gu Yueyan's shoulder and said seriously, "This is very, very important to me."

If Gu Yueyan were to die on The Dark Side of the Moon because of him, Ren Suo felt he might genuinely remain unmarried for the rest of his life in her memory.

Gu Yueyan nodded silently, watching Ren Suo walk to the twisted edge of the Roof. Then she suddenly called out to him, "Mr. Suo!"

"I like you so much, can't you like me?" Gu Yueyan's eyes curved like crescents, her face full of affection, her voice brimming with grievance yet determined as she looked at Ren Suo.

Ren Suo turned his head to look at her and couldn't help sighing.

Then he strode back, embraced Gu Yueyan, and pecked her lips gently.

"Okay."

Taking advantage of the moment Gu Yueyan was stunned by such an unexpected kiss, Ren Suo sprinted away.

I never said I only liked you, did I?
